Medical emergency? Did they take him to hospital to get looked at? And his license should be taken away, he is obviously not fit to drive………or he was looking at his phone! I’m not buying this story. You can’t claim medical emergency and not go to hospital.

You know absolutely nothing about the circumstances of this accident and you have no idea if the driver went to the hospital since the article didn’t mention it. Hopefully someday you or someone you care about has a “medical emergency” and can be subjected to comments like yours online.
